What is a good gaming PC? (Beginners under £1000)

For a while now I have been using my HP laptop for gaming (was originally for university work..didn't last long) and I'm noticing my laptop is slowly showing signs of struggle with my games.
I am currently at a standstill.
I have asked around for suggestions for a new desktop set-up, and no one is really suggesting anything that is reasonable of a price. I am not looking to spend over a grand (£1000) as of yet. I at least want to get comfortable with a setup that runs just as fine without being severely overpriced. So upgrading is an option.
I mostly play, origin and steam based games. Currently the main game is League Of Legends, which doesn't have much-complicated requirements. But it would still be nice to play it smoothly. I was getting decent FPS but with the new updates, they have dropped significantly. Don't think my laptop can keep up anymore.
Price range - anything under £1000.

To be honest we could all give an option and sit here forever debating them, maybe find some that take your fancy and post some links that we can look at and let you know what we think? For a guide of what you can get for under £1000 use pcpartpicker and look at the gaming builds under £1000.

As a guide you want an i5 processor or equivalent AMD (use cpubenchmark to see how they compare), a good GPU (1060 is very good value if you don't use 4K - or AMD equivalent of course), 16gb of ram (8 will do but 16 is better) and at least 1TB of hard drive. An SSD for your windows installation is always a benefit (128GB will be more than enough)

You could also go on pcspecialist and create your own custom build - that way you get exactly what you want.

Just as a thinking idea for you guys - Despite mart being right, that's a good pc for the price, there are savings that can be made.

A 700W power supply is far too much for that pc, 500W is easily enough (cooler master calculator recommends 344W but 500W allows for upgrades). You can also save by buying an air cooler for your cpu - it is not overclockable so buying a water cooler is again overkill, simply not worth the extra money. I also think that 2TB of storage is also too much unless you plan to store a massive amount of media on the pc. That is more personal preference but I find it is very rare that people need 2TB.

Those savings are relatively small, but overall they mean that for about £60 extra (£1053 without windows) you can add a gtx 1070 rather than a 1060 which will give you much better gaming performance, especially if you want to game in 4K in the future or want to really get the most out of your games.

Here is my version of the pc:

Just something to mull over before you make your decision, and for everyone who is buying a custom pc, it is always a good idea to see where savings can be made, as there are often things that you don't need and are wasting your money on.

There is nothing better than building a Gaming PC on a $1000 dollar budget. In this build instead of just one PC build under $1000 dollars, I actually created two different builds for you to choose from each with their own different benefits.
